C. Findlay, pro- | missioner, had been re-| the duties of his office indertaken 'by a Deputy | Mr. Johnson, until | furthér notice. At about the time of this announcement, Findlay, who had journeyed to Vancouver from Vie- toria, took a motor car and headed | | for the international boundary. His disappearance was noted at once and | when he reached Blaine, on. the Washington-British Columbia boun- dary, police officers were waiting to return him to Vahcouver. Next morn- | ing'it was learned that Findlay, the | man who had been sworn to guard! the province against the criminal im- | portation and consumption of Strong | drink, was ~himself charged with] bringing in a carload of whiskey il-| legally Events moved swiftly thereafter. | Findlay was given bail and allowed | to go to Victoria to see his family. | Laferr he appeared in police court, charged with illegally importing a; carload of liquor, pleaded guilty, was | fined the maximum amount of §i,500 | and promptly left again for the United States. i Justice had been gone the limit, but began to ask what had happened to the whisky after it was iwcporied? Who assisted Findlay to get rid of it? One man could not dispose of 700 cases of whiskey without employ- | ing some commercial machinery and | why was that machinery not exposed to public view? Such a protest arose that the Government decided to ap- point a royal commission and Mr. | Justice Clement was instructed to| open an inquiry. It being clear that | an inquiry would not get very far| with Findlay out of jurisdiction, a| shortage of 74 cases of whiskey in Government stock, which had oF been in his charge, furnished prima favie grounds for a charge of theft-- | an extraditable offence Findlay had proceeded no farther | than Portland, Oregon, and was in- duced to come up to Seattle, Wash- ington There he was promised im-| munity regarding any charge that might be laid against him except the i charge of theft if he waived extra-| dition and appeared before the royal commissioner. Thus it came about that just as the commissioner opened | the 'inquiry, two days after Christ- mas, Findlay again appeared in Van- | couver in custody. | The first morning of the inquiry, Dec. 27, was taken up with the evi. dence of thé Government auditor, Mr. | A. B. McNeill, who testified that] Findlay had had a private whiskey | warehouse to which had been taken | other whiskey besides the ecgridad | Jo) and from which distribution had (heen effected, all contrary to law. In the afternoon Findlay was called. He flatly refused to testify. Acting on counsel's ivice, he said, he] would not give his evidence until the | charge of theft laid by the Attorney- | General was disposed. of. Findlay | was sent to Okalia jail for contempt of court, incidentally appearing later in the police court, to be arraigned | for theft and obtaining bail cn that charge, The commission went on. Other witnesses, unwilling enough most of | then, gave evidence which pointed to'a fairly large illicit business in liquor as having gone on apparently unchecked for months fn that city. Whole freight wagon loads had been from place to place. The Canada - Liquor Company and the Hudson Bay Company, ac- cording tb the evidence, had sent consignments of whiskey to private | parties. One lot of 25 or 30 cases] had gone from the latter company to a residence in the most exclusive dis- triet. Another had been moved from a residence in the West End to the Hotel Vancouver Annex. Things were getting more and more interesting every day when suddenly A. L. Gartshore stopped the investigation by legal proceedings. Gartshore is a liquor man and was connected with a retail business in Yancouver. He moved for a writ of prohibition, and Mr. Justice Clement suspended the inquiry while the mat- ter was argued put before Chief Jus- tice Hunter of the Supreme Court. Meanwhile some of Findlay's old friends had afranged for him to ob tain the advice of Mr. S. 8S. Taylor, K.C., Mr. Henderson, his counsel, consenting. On Jan, 8, the Chief Justice, who had heard the argument on the Gart- b be swift and had] peopia at once| hibition, announced that owing to the importance of the constitutional Questions involved he would take time to consider his decision. This tied the investigation up pretty come pletely, but soon afterwards applica- tion was made to the commissioner to hold a special sitting so as to give Findlay an opportunity of purging his contempt by telling his story. The commissioner consented. There was a delay, however, and when the commissioner was ready to hear the former commissioner, was (still in Okalia jail. There the matter stands, Mr. Tay- lor having given up the case.

The gold of the Indies was the at- traction that led Columbus to sall ms pa | westward, that carried Cortez to Mex- fco and Pizarro to Peru. The Incas had large stores of the precious metal, representing, no doubt, .the accumula- | tions of many centuries." The cap'ure resounded through Spain became for a time the wenlthiest, as well as the most pow- erful, nation of Europe, and this was ascribed to the gold of Peru. But Peru held another treasure much more valuable for the nations of Europe than the golden booty of | Pizarro. Carrying the potato to Eu- | rope was an event of much more pro- | | found significance in relation te the subsequent history of the wofld than sending the Inea gold to the coffers | of Spain. But nchody understood the value of the potito, and its Peruvian origin was generally forgotten before | the plant became well known. In- stead of Peruvian potatoes we call | them Irish potatoes. The potato was the basis of the | ancient Peruvian nation and has at- | tained almost the same importance in other parts of the world within the last Magazine.

But this consumption fs bound to jump as soon as the Americans be- come familiar with the taste of this inhabitant of the deep. The Greek fishermen, who consider the octopus | a great delicacy, call it "devilfish:" while the Japanese fish dealer gets ealls from his people for "tako," and when Sing, down in Chinatown, places it on his mehu eard he gives it a name { that only a Cantonese can read or un- derstand.
